(KNZA)--Atchison County’s USD 377 Board of Education held its annual organizational meeting Wednesday evening.

Nancy Keith was re-elected board president for the 2018-19 school year. Barb Chapman was re-elected vice-president.

The Board took no action again on placing a resolution before voters that would give the district the authority to levy up to 8 mills for the capital outlay fund.

That comes after district patrons filed a protest petition against the resolution approved by the Board in April.

Currently, the district has the authority to levy up to 4 mills.

Superintendent Dr. Andrew Gaddis told MSC News the Board plans to communicate the need for the additional capital outlay authority to patrons and hope to successfully pursue it in the future.
